i think at this point in time, cf hoods are more for show than go....especially on civics. I see CF hoods that lighten the front end and wings that create downforce on the rear end and just laugh. on a RWD that would be great, but why would you want to reduce traction in the front on a fwd? (i still want a CF hood to replace mine b/c of the ding in it though, but thats for cosmetic preference.) Just wondering how much traction is lost by people with these setups.....sorry for my rant!@#
